So say a fella wanted to own 2 of the big three, but not all three (at least for now), what would you suggest? The big three obviously being 9mm, 40s&w, and 45acp.
Go big or go home. The two largest choices are the only pistol calibers that I own and/or load for.
The 40 is overrated, today's 9mm PD loads equal a 40.
The 40 has higher recoil, less capacity, more expensive
to shoot. Most individuals who say the 9mm is puny, weak,
no stopping power, will not penetrate, have never been
shot with one. Why are so many LE agency's and Federal
government agencies going back to the 9mm ?
Oh btw, I like the .45 ACP too
Sounds like the third caliber may be in your future. Buy the .40 S&W and the .45 Auto. If you want to shoot 9mm later, you could probably just buy a 9mm barrel for your .40 S&W shooter....a fella wanted to own 2 of the big three, but not all three (at least for now), ...
Because the ammo costs less and the guns are easier to shoot, hold more rounds, and break less. It is not because the 9mm is the equal performance-wise of the other two. It performs a little worse, but they consider the other features outweigh the loss in performance.Why are so many LE agency's and Federal
government agencies going back to the 9mm ?
